Again I say, thanks to Lyn White, Four Corners, Animals Australia and countless international animal advocates

It will be good to leave some countries with better welafre standards for some animals, than they had when Australia first introduced ESCAS. We can only hope that other exporting countries of live animals realise the peril, unreliability and poor ethics of transporting live animals long distances for slaughter and follow Australia's lead when we transition to a chilled only, 'dead export' trade.
